I was looking forward to them showing the downfall of society a bit more. All they really showed was traffic jams, a hospital being overrun, and a riot.

Now there are fences up, a few safe zones, and the notion that everyone outside the fences was dead.

I personally wanted to see more detail on how they got to where they are now. Controlling and corralling 10M people can't be easy.
Exactly. Kirkman said the plan was to show the beginning of the outbreak up until about the time TWD starts. That's what? Maybe a year? There's a limited window of time to deal with stuff so it might not be a good idea to run through time so quickly.

Of course, plans could change and the series could carry on beyond it's originally-stated end date. But if the plan indeed is to show the beginning of the outbreak skipping over stuff isn't staying true to that vision.

Edit: Nevermind. Later interview said they plan to overlap the events in TWD with FTWD so I'm wrong: http://www.cinemablend.com/televisio...ine-72311.html
